Re: Going prices on 1lb jars?

My dark honey is $6, the light seems to have a higher value. Wanted to get a feel for what you all are getting for yours.
I have to make up for all the great deals I give on our machinery through honey sales

Re: Going prices on 1lb jars?

Max rep. I think you need to refine the question. You'll find price changes depending on the location and market.

Fairs, health food shops, and local food markets will bring in top dollar. $8 to $10 for local wildflower. $11 and up for various monoflorals.

It's also a question if you have a lot of beekeepers in your area under cutting market price.

If you aren't selling directly to the customer, you'll have to discount it.

I tend to find older beekeepers with lower prices, who haven't raised their prices in years.

You also need to think about how much stock you have, and how fast you're looking to dump it. Honey inventory or honey stock is just like stock on the stock market. If you price it lower it will move faster.

I tend to keep my inventory of purchased monofloral honey lower, and the price high. While the reverse for my local wildflower.

If you are new to your market area try $1 under local store prices for your first year. The next year you can raise youre price youre sales will not drop. You may even have to buy wholesale local honey untill you extract again.
